Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting an extremely soft feeling feature

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who doesnít like artistic effects or who wants something that doesnít feel watered down

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave much to be desired. First, the audio is frequently off balance. People walking over gravel are louder than the people theyíre talking with, and there are frequent wind noises during the outdoor scenes. The video is much the same. Itís often slowed down drastically, which means much of the audio is dubbed. Itís lit decently, but thereís some heavy grain, making the feature look a little worse than a VHS copy.

Music: The music is slow and fairly sexy, and seems to fit the scenes pretty well. Unfortunately, it normally goes between being a little too loud and being the only audio in the scenes.

Menus: The menus are very basic. The main menu is unanimated and the chapter menu lets you choose from a title and small clip for each chapter as well as letting you choose between the start of the chapter and the pop shot.

The Feature: Nicollete is sick of working her ranch. Instead she wants to go to the city where the action is. She has Brick Majors appraise her ranch and looks towards becoming a masseuse (oops, I guess thatís massage therapist now) in the big city.

Nicolette starts things out with Ian Daniels in what was her very first scene. Nicolette looks amazing in her jean shorts, flannel shirt, and black cowboy boots as she sucks Ianís cock while laying on a picnic table. Ian returns the favor by taking his time eating her nicely trimmed pussy before fucking her from behind. It looks like Ian may have actually spent a little too much time working on Nicolette since he looks fairly soft through a good portion of the fucking. They work through a couple more standard positions before Nicolette takes Ianís spooge spray on her stomach and tits.

This scene didnít do too much for me. It builds up a little heat, but never gets to be too hot. More than anything it feels fairly mechanical, which I guess shouldnít be too surprising with a first time scene.

Brick Majors takes on Shelbee Myne and Amaretta in the next scene. Brick says he doesnít want sex, but doesnít resist when Shelbee tells Amaretta to pull his cock out and start sucking it. Amaretta follows her directions while Shelbee sits back to watch and diddle herself with the help of a small vibe. The girls trade places so Brick can give Shelbee more than her battery operated friend can before Amaretta slides onto his cock for a little reverse cowgirl action. Brick gives Shelbee a little tongue action before nailing her missionary style and popping on her stomach.

This scene is almost completely forgettable. The opening oral with Amaretta is nice, but as soon as the fucking starts it drops faster than a Clintonís pants at a sorority lobby. Iím not sure if Amaretta is ever really penetrated, and the fucking is so quick and so focused on close-ups that it seemed like a complete waste to me.

Charlie, Pryce Leigh, and Shay Sweet give Dante, Tony Martino, and Thomas Ryder a massage to start out the third scene under the direction of Michelle Milano. Itís part of their massage lesson, and after they start on their manís back the men roll over and they work on their front. They suck and titty fuck the guys until they pop on their tits and face.

This scene also seemed like a bit of a waste to me. The camera angles are balanced better, but there were still way too many close-ups for my tastes. There also didnít seem to be anything to this scene to make it feel like it was moving in any direction or anything else to really grab my attention.

Taylor St. Clair gets it on with Gina Ryder on a tractor in the next scene. They play back and forth a little before Taylor breaks out her strap-on to treat Gina with. She has Gina suck it and then fucks her from behind and lets her ride it using both cowgirl styles. Taylor finishes things up pounding Gina from behind before the scene abruptly cuts out.

This is a slightly above average scene, but not by much. It moves decently, but never grasped me enough that I couldnít think of it as being pretty much like every other lesbian scene out there. It also didnít help that the scene ended so sharply while feeling like there was much more to go.

Dark haired beauty Azlea takes on David Steele and Paul Cox at a party in the penultimate scene. She starts out stroking them with her velvet gloves before dropping to her knees so they might know the pleasure of her mouth. She has them cut open her pantihose so they can reciprocate as she lies back on the counter before the guys take turns fucking her from behind. Azlea finally finishes things up taking a nice double facial.

This is easily the most strokable scene in the movie! Azlea has an amazing set of eyes, and they seem to say all that needs to be said about the sex as the partygoers watch them. The sex itself is nothing special, but Azlea raises the scene up several notches and the crowd atmosphere also helps it. Although the camera work often left a bit to be desired, this still ended up as a pretty hot scene.

Finally, Nicolette takes on Brick Majors. They start off with some slow caressing before Nicolette drops down to suck Brickís stick. Brick nails Nicoletteís hairy pussy from behind without giving her any warmup, as well as letting her ride it reverse cowgirl before giving her a nice facial.

This is another scene that didnít really do anything for me. It was extremely slow and the editing and camera angles didnít seem to agree. The close-ups made it look like Nicolette was getting it doggie style while in the distance shots she was getting it reverse cowgirl style. Am I paying too close of attention to the wrong things noticing details like that? You bet your ass I am, and that I noticed it with every angle change should tell you just how engaging this scene was.

Touch is one of the few pornos Iíve seen that came close to doing nothing for me. To start with, I couldnít have cared less about the story, partially because Nicoletteís character just seems like a self-centered bitch. The sex didnít do anything to make me forget about it with the exception of Azleaís scene, and often seemed so tame that it was darn near sterile. Iím sure some of this is because all of the scenes were slowed down to the point that nothing seemed to happen in them, and when something did happen it was so quickly moved past that if you look away for a moment youíre going to miss it. The camera work also focused on close-ups to the point that I wondered a few times if they were ever going to show what the rest of the performers looked like before the scene was done. Touch leaves much to be desired, and is a shining example of the negative stereotype that so many people have of couples movies.

Overall: Currently, Adam & Eve DVDs can be found online for between $7 and $25, with this line of DVDs often being available for around $10. This one is pushing it even at the low end for me. The technical aspects and extras are lacking, as was most everything about the movie for me. Rent this one before you buy it!

Note to Adam & Eve: Itís nice to see how much youíve improved in the last few years!
